in Southwark, continues across the borough this week.

The Festival concludes on Sunday 19 November with a

[ Christ Church Christmas Fair and Annual Service ]
There's a busy weekend ahead at Christ Church Southwark

Then on Sunday the Christ Church Centre Annual Service
at 10.30am is a Eucharist celebrating the work of the
many organisations based at the complex, including the

[ Volunteers wanted for pilot SMS information service ]
Here at Bankside Press we've been thinking about how we
can make our electronic information services even
better. Everyone's talking about the mobile
communications revolution, so we have decided to launch
a pilot news service via SMS, also known as text
messaging.
We are offering [SE1 Direct] subscribers the exclusive
opportunity to join this pilot service, which will
deliver breaking news about what's happening in SE1.
To join, simply send an email to sms@se1direct.co.uk
with your mobile phone number.
At this stage we will not be sending more than 10
messages a month via the [SE1 Direct] SMS service. We
will also contact you by email for your feedback on the
service.
Remember, Bankside Press will never pass your personal
information on to third parties.
